Review on Enhanced Protection: Cobra DualPro 360° Radar Detector with Long Range and Intelligent GPS AutoLearn Technology by Scott Rodriguez

My name is Carlos but on rdforum.com I am Cobra Kai. Since Cobra merged with Escort, their once-mediocre products have gotten much better. The Cobra DualPro 360 (which I will call DP360 to get you started) has a chassis and overall design based on the Belltronics GT-360 and features top-notch 360-degree escort detection with a state-of-the-art database. Filtering and MRCD detection mixed. Overall, it's an excellent value at $399-$450. I was given a range definition almost by Uniden but with much better filtering and when used in conjunction with a Cobra/Escorts app it really adds to the experience. The DP360 also didn't experience any I/O problems that can occur even with other RDs in this price range. Overall: I cannot fault this product, Cobra has a real winner. The only downside, and I mean the only downside, is that it doesn't come with a mini-USB cable, which is required for updates. Compared to some similarly priced radar detectors like: Uniden R7: Cobra has better filtering, Uniden has always lagged behind. In this area, DP 360 has Bluetooth, which R7 does not have, R7 does not have an app. The Cobra has a better mounting system and also less money. While the Uniden has a longer range, the DP360 has the features the R7 lacks to make up for it. Radenso Pro-M: Cobra has 360 degree detection and has arrows to let the user know which way the radar detection is going, while Radenso has none of that and no app. The Cobra appears to be a newer metal detector (it is) and the Pro-M itself is a great detector, it's almost 3 years old now. The range of the Pro-M is also shorter than that of the DP360. Parallel tests have shown that the DP360 outperforms it in every respect. Escort Max 360: My dad owns one of these and the DP360 is undeniably better in almost every way except for the settings. The Max 360 also has a K-Notch which reduces false positives, but I didn't have this problem with the DP360, it filters out false positives very well. The Max 360 is also more expensive and bulkier.
